Ever feel like your emotions are riding shotgun and occasionally grabbing the reins? Welcome to Hot Mess at X, where we turn barn aisle breakdowns into breakthroughs. In this episode of the Stress Influencer Series, we're tackling the Emotional Influencer: the sneaky little voice that turns a spook into a spiral and a trainer comment into a full-blown existential crisis.

You'll learn how to:

• Spot your emotional triggers (before your horse does).
• Decode the drama (spoiler: it's usually a gremlin in disguise)
• Use Emotional Timeouts that last longer than your horse's attention span.
• Shift from "Why am I like this?" to "I've got this."

Because emotions are not the enemy they are just barn gossip with a message. And when you learn to ride with curiosity, courage, and a little chaos? That's when the magic happens.

So grab your Trigger Journal, saddle up your self-awareness, and let's ride through the messy middle together. Your horse doesn't need perfection, just your presence (and maybe a few giggles).

Happy Riding!
